Two-Dimensional Simulation of EM Scattering from a Rotating Circular Dielectric Cylinder

Abstract:

The computational results of the scattered electromagnetic (EM) fields from a rotating circular dielectric cylinder were presented in this paper. The method of characteristics (MOC) was applied in a two dimensional modified O-type grid system to the solutions of the time-dependent Maxwell equations. To accurately model the rotating cylinder under the illumination of EM pulse, the passing center swing back grids (PCSBG) technique is employed in cooperation with MOC to overcome the difficulty of grid distortion due to the rotational movement of the cylinder. A number of electric and magnetic field distributions over the whole computational space were demonstrated in a side-by-side fashion for the comparison of the scattered EM fields from rotating circular dielectric cylinder with those from the stationary one. The numerical results exhibit feasible trends.
